It was more than dirty, there was no hot water in the showers if we can call it showers. The beds are HORRIBLE and the sheets smell bad. There was no light in the room so we were in the dark and the door can't be correctly shot and opens every two minutes with the wind. The man in staff at the reception entered the room during the night with one of the guest. Both were drunk, they smoked in the bathroom and spoke while every one was sleeping.

we are so sorry about this situation but i m sure none of my staff smoke and may be one of the guest because you wrote that it was dark you didn t saw well, really sorry because we cant also control the guest in the share room, but if you had a problems like that why you didn t talk with the manager?

Would be nice to get a map of cancun from the hostel, also would be good if the hostel has a computer with internet connection (everything cannot be done with mobilephone).

This hostel was nice enough and the staff was friendly. Also had a good location however it maybe lacked atmosphere. It all depends who is there but everyone seemed to sleep the entire 2 days I was there. Overall a nice hostel and a good breakfast too for the money you pay!

My worst hostel in a long time. The beds in my dorm were very dirty. Even after 22 hours of travel I had to make an effort to sleep there. I saw a couple of bugs on the beds, too, but no bedbugs. There are several decent hostels nearby and even closer to the bus terminal. They are not much more expensive either. Also, they are better places to meet other travelers.

We just have a great stay there, don't miss it! It's perfect if you want to meet people from all over the world, and who like to travel a lot. People there are open minded and ready to discover a new culture. It's good if you want to see another side of Cancun, the real Cancun and not the touristic one. The manager will do everything he could for you. It is safe and just 3 minutes from the bus station, by walk. The breakfast is included (typical mexican food) and really good. Enjoy it!
